10 knives with character and greater possibilities.
This first set is both the genesis and hallmark of the brand. The knives embody Michel Bras’ ideal of perfection both in terms of functionality and beauty.
The blade’s delicate cutting edge is comprised of three layers: rigid stainless steel is inserted between two layers of a more flexible stainless steel to create better resistance. A titanium coating is added to seal and add brilliance.
The handle is made of black laminated wood resistant to water and humidity, and is silky to the touch. The lower end of the knife is in a distinct chestnut shape, characteristic of Japanese knives. The handle is designed to fit in the hand so naturally that the user will forget that it is not part of their arm.
The knives, like some jewelry undergo a total of thirty-seven processes including handcrafting by experienced artisans before they reach completion.
No.91 Knife
A serrated knife that smoothly cuts through all types of bread dough and soft ingredients.
Its unique serrated edge shape allows you to start cutting at a sharp angle and then smoothly progress with a gentle wave line. It cuts both when pushing and pulling, making it easy to control the force applied to the food and achieve precise cuts.
With serrations oriented in opposite directions on each half, it effortlessly slices through ingredients like pain de campagne or tomatoes, where the hardness varies significantly between the inside and outside, without crushing the shape.
It also minimizes bread crumbs flying everywhere.
The No.91, with its slightly shorter blade length than the No.9 that amazed many bakers, allows for effortless cutting of smaller breads and ingredients in confined spaces.
Compared to the No.9 with a 28.5 cm blade length, the No.91's 21 cm blade length is perfectly matched for foods like pâté en croûte, which are notoriously difficult to handle, ensuring beautifully clean slices.
The blade features a three-layer construction combining a cobalt-alloyed core material with high hardness and durability. This design facilitates precise sharpening control and ensures excellent springback when the blade is flexed.
The beautiful titanium coating resists scratches and undoubtedly makes it a standout presence in any kitchen.
The bolster is welded for long-lasting, hygienic use.
